Try this...take a 15 pin cable(if you have trouble finding one labelled "joystick extension cable", look for "macintosh monitor extension cable" - the older Macs used a 15-pin identical to a joystick port) and cut off one end. Use a multimeter to figure out which color wire matches which pin on the connector. And there you have your 15-pin connector, with a very nice professional end on it already!

The problem is that they're specific ones, I was told that they're not quite what we need. I'll look for that extender. Do you know if it would be ok if we just cut the end off the cord we have and just make sure everything that isn't nice wire is kept inside the box?

That's what we're doing...it seems i remember an update last year or the year before from FIRST where this question was asked, and they said it was a "logical extension" from buying your own 15pin connectors and wire.
